Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, March 25, 2026

An Iranian military spokesperson has mocked US attempts at a ceasefire deal, insisting the US was only negotiating with itself. Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesperson for the Iranian military's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, made the statement in a prerecorded video aired on state television. He said: "The strategic power you used to talk about has turned into a strategic failure. The one claiming to be a global superpower would have already gotten out of this mess if it could. Don't dress up your defeat as an agreement. Your era of empty promises has come to an end. Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?"

"Our first and last word has been the same from day one, and it will stay that way. Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you," Zolfaghari said. "Not now, not ever."

It is mentioned from time to time that Trump is delusional, but few still take that literally to heart.

Trump is imagining these negotiations out of a deep and sick persona need, with a dash of manipulating the markets.

The man is crazy enough to start a war of personal choice without the assistance of Congress, our allies, or the American people. And without remembering the existence of the Strait of Hormuz.

Oh, wait...

Trump's people are treating him like Hitler in his bunker----They aren't providing him accurate information about the world for fear that he will lose his temper.

This is pathetic.

It took six years of intense, world-wide war to get Hitler himself to the same point of lunacy as Trump already is.

We are going to hear stories of the man moving imaginary military units around on a map of the Middle East.

WHAT in Hell are those 7,000 US troops expected to do against Iran?

I'm getting whiffs of Gallipolli and Dieppe.

SITZKRIEG understands.
